Lonely Today Lonely Tomorrow - Poem by Katherine Perry

Why is it that there are more lonely people today than therewere in ages pastWhen we are surrounded with much more than we can chewMaybe it's because those things we value do not lastLeaving us left with nothing else to do

We close ourselves behind closed doorsOur eyes so focused on what a machine can offer and doNot even knowing when it rains or when it poursGiving more and more meaning into the old saying 'You snoozeyou lose'

It's no wonder we are so lonely Observe closely and you will then seePeople running around with cellphones being held as holyHaving an attitude that nothing else matters but me

What we don't want to admit and changeIs going to eventually leave us strandedAnd one day nobody will remember our namesFor the spotlight was more on the material things that weredemanded

If we are not willing to change what we have gotten use toThen we will keep on relying on the things that mean the lessAnd if we keep on and on doing what we want toThen all the things that were once important will be forgottenand laid to rest!
